Up and running and can't get enough of the Lotty!!

I managed to take my 1 hours lunch break at the lotty today.
The weather was beautifully warm and spring like, and my hop plants were taking up valuable space in my make shift greenhouse aka my utility room!

So off to the lotty we went and after a little digging, filling of holes with multi purpose compost bought from the Trading Hut of course - not like some other allotment holders I could mention that STILL insist on going to the garden centre and......

(spit the dog is in my mind now for some reason!!)

(a) driving there so more carbon footprints

(b) paying more (obviously got more money than sense as the Trading Hut is going to charge you less and we ALL know that!!) and

(c) annoying the committee members (at least 4 of us) who witnessed at least 3 bags of Garden Centre bought compost being lugged into the allotment!!! (who's not making any friends then eh??

Anyway back to the case in hand which is that I managed to plant my hops plants today, but I decided, as you can see from the pictures, to cloche them as there was a little frost last night!

And now for more news - exciting news.......

This is my new Lotty Watch -kindly given to me by my lovely Mother in Law who knows what I like! Isn't it super - it's already caused a stir around the plot, so I am bound to see a few more soon!
